Favorite Answer
your high school grades look good, but your SATs are not so hot.
a lot depends on what you bring to the table in terms of ‘diversity’ — are you a minority, or from a state that doesn’t have a lot of students at that college.
the state schools that you mentioned give preference to their state residents, so you have to be something special to get in. cornell is a long shot — most ivies are unless you have some connections or you fill a niche they need.
mit is highly unlikely
